"Everyone, stop moving! Now, starting from the far left, start walking up the hillside one by one!"
Halfway up the mountain, Elder Hassan shouted at the top of his lungs.
Although dozens of people were killed or injured in this battle, Elder Hassan's command was strong, and the Chinese friends he brought blew up drones and killed several attackers. The tribesmen and mountain people were concerned about Elder Hassan's words. More obedience.
Therefore, everyone stopped what they were doing. Although they didn't know why the elder gave such an order, they still walked up the mountainside one by one.
Although they all had expressions of doubt and confusion on their faces, none of them resisted.
Among the crowd, Elder Kaman, who had been protected just now, walked towards Elder Hassan and said as he walked:
"Hassan, what are you doing? The battle has just ended. No one knows whether there will be similar attacks in the future. We need to leave here as soon as possible..."
At this moment, Ran Jie suddenly discovered that the red dot moved!
And it's moving towards the tracker!
He looked at Elder Kaman and understood immediately!
Ran Jie showed the tracker to Elder Hassan.
Elder Hassan looked at the tracker, then looked at Elder Kaman who was walking towards him, and he understood!
The anger flashed across his face, but then his expression calmed down.
He said loudly:
"Elder Kaman, you are right. Let's continue moving supplies. Let's get out of here quickly! Elder Kaman, come here. We have some things here that you need to see!"
Elder Kaman did not expect that just one word would make Elder Hassan give up his previously unknown decision. He thought he had gained face, a proud expression flashed across his face, and then he walked quickly towards the mountain.
As soon as he reached the hillock, Elder Hassan suddenly put a gun to his chest!
"Hassan! What are you going to do?" Kaman was startled and shouted angrily, "What conspiracy are you planning? Why are you pointing a gun at me?"
Elder Kaman's prestige in the eyes of the tribal mountain people is not low. Elder Hassan's action immediately caused many people to exclaim, and some people ran over here with guns.
"Everyone, stop moving and listen to me!"
Elder Hassan handed over Kaman's gun and said loudly to everyone:
"Just now when we were searching for the belongings of these attackers, we found a tracker! The tracker showed that these people followed a certain item on one of us!
Just now I asked everyone to move one by one, just to see who the tracker's target was on. Unexpectedly, as soon as Elder Kaman moved, the red dot on the tracker moved!
In other words, Elder Kaman carries a target device! He was the one who attracted these attackers! "
After hearing this, these mountain people were in an uproar!
Many people began to curse Elder Kaman. Their relatives and friends died in the attack.
There are still some people who don’t believe it, but Elder Hassan has his own way.
Elder Kaman's expression changed drastically after hearing this, and he defended loudly:
"Hassan! You are talking nonsense! How could I lead a wolf into my house? I have never thought about it and would never betray our tribe! This is definitely a misunderstanding... No! You are framing me!"
Elder Kaman’s voice was loud and aroused some sympathy.
Elder Hassan said coldly:
"Whether it is true or not, we will find out later! Zaid! Lakhaf, Gulb! Come over here and search Elder Kaman yourself! If I make a mistake, I will resign as an elder!"
Seeing that Elder Hassan used his position as an elder as a guarantee, those who did not believe it at first became suspicious!
The three men called by Elder Hassan came to the mountainside with guns in hand. Of these three people, one is a close confidant of Elder Kaman, one supports Elder Hassan, and the other is the captain of the guard in the village. He has an impartial attitude. His father was once an elder of the previous generation, so there are also some connections.
Three people came over. Elder Hassan put away his gun and said:
"You guys take a look at the tracker first."
Ran Jie showed the tracker to them. Although there is a lot of English on it, it can be seen that the green dot is the tracker point and the red dot is the target point. Now the two have overlapped.
Among the three people, Zaide, the neutral faction, took the lead in searching Elder Kaman's body.
In order to prove his innocence, Elder Kaman had to cooperate even though he was somewhat reluctant.
Zayde quickly took out a satellite phone from under Elder Kaman's robe.
He looked and saw that the satellite phone was on.
He handed the satellite phone to Elder Hassan, and the alarm on the tracker got louder!
"That's the satellite phone!" Elder Hassan said with a cold face, "A few years ago, in a certain federation in that big country in the north, a leader caused a plane to drop a missile just because the satellite phone was turned on... …”
Elder Kaman’s face was ashen!
He never imagined that the other party would use such advanced means because of a small tribal elder like him!
Gulb, who supports Elder Kaman, has nothing to say - the evidence is all there and there is no argument at all!
"Take him away and wait until we return to the village." Elder Hassan's tone softened a little, "He must give everyone an explanation!"
Elder Hassan has actually figured it out.
This matter is actually very simple. Elder Kaman is trying to betray Zhu Yu and the others to those who are offering a reward, so the satellite phone will remain on.
But they didn't expect to attract the wolf - obviously, the group had no intention of paying the reward, they just needed a clue!
As for the life of Elder Kaman, it is not within their consideration at all!
This thing is so embarrassing!
Elder Hassan also had some complaints against Zhu Yu and the others.
He felt that the arrival of Zhu Yu and the others attracted these jackals!
It’s just that Zhu Yu and the others were invited here by themselves, which is hard to say!
At this time, Qin Fei took out another document left by those people, walked over and said:
"One of the goals of these people should be this material warehouse."
Elder Hassan took the information and read it.
The information includes a map and satellite photos. Elder Hassan didn't quite understand this, but the two points above were very obvious - one was the abandoned base, and the other was the closed cave where they took the supplies.
And in those materials, there are detailed data indicating the types and quantities of materials in the cave, as well as the recommended disposal methods——
The general idea is to sell things to locals, exchange them for precious metals or gems, and at the same time support a group of people close to them!
Elder Hassan’s mentality immediately changed!
It seemed that even without Zhu Yu and the others, these people would come over and have conflicts with the tribe.
After all, both parties want these things!
Now Elder Hassan is purely grateful to Zhu Yuranjie and the others!
Without them, not only would my tribe not be able to get these things for free, but the tribe might also have nails planted in it. Naturally, the Americans would not be willing to fail to withdraw from here. It is really not their style to not make some small moves. !
Elder Kaman was searched and escorted away.
Looking at the corpses of relatives and friends neatly arranged all over the slope, and listening to the miserable howls of the injured warriors, I realized how much those tribal mountain people used to support him, but now they hate him!
Although he knew that Elder Kaman had made an unforgivable mistake, Elder Hassan still tried his best to comfort the mountain people of the tribe and prevent them from taking any drastic actions.
Disposing of the bodies of the deceased, treating the wounded, and transporting supplies are all urgent tasks.
Hassan took the time to tell Hu Guanghui:
"A large-scale battle took place here, and two drones were destroyed. The news will spread quickly. Soon, nearby tribesmen and some people lurking here will come to check.
The top priority in the tribe right now is to clean up the battlefield and leave here as soon as possible, otherwise others may take advantage of them. "
Although Hu Guanghui didn't quite understand the survival rules of the mountain tribes, he knew that he was right to listen to Hassan.
Ran Jie and the others did not participate in these tasks, but stayed on the hillock, monitoring the surroundings, and waiting for Zhu Yu's return.
Not long after, Zhu Yu appeared on the edge of the battlefield.
Seeing the dozens of corpses lined up neatly and the bullet casings everywhere, Zhu Yu was not too surprised.
Although the mountain people here are warlike and have combat experience, there is still a big gap compared with those professional mercenaries who have been prepared in advance.
Hassan was arranging funeral arrangements. When he saw Zhu Yu appear, he immediately put down what he was doing and walked over quickly.
"Mr. Zhu, I really want to thank you and your people for helping our tribe this time!
If it weren't for you, I'm afraid all of us would have turned into corpses by now!
God bless you! "
Hassan gave Zhu Yu a big salute.
Zhu Yu hurriedly supported Hassan and said sincerely:
"Elder Hassan, we are partners and we should help each other. Please don't be so polite. If you need anything, please just say it!"
"Yes, we are partners!" Elder Hassan was somewhat emotional when he heard this word.
This land has been invaded by the two superpowers in turns over the past few decades. In the wars of aggression, the mountain people have learned to fight, sneak attacks, compromise, and various ways of survival.
More than once, they heard that someone considered them a partner.
But those so-called partners will only squeeze their labor, plunder their interests, and deceive their feelings.
This was the first time that Hassan truly felt that partners could help each other, that they could ask for help from their partners, and that their partners did not threaten them to make them pay more benefits.
Although Hassan has been to China many times, the feeling Zhu Yu gave him now made him truly understand the survival wisdom of that mysterious big country in the east.
He suddenly felt how lucky he and the tribe were to have such a partner!
Hassan felt that this cooperative relationship must be firmly established. This is a big tree. As long as we rely closely on this big tree, the tribe should be able to grow into a big tree in the future!
Zhu Yu repeatedly persuaded Hassan to deal with the current affairs as soon as possible, while he went to Xiaoshanbao.
Ran Jie and the others had already seen Zhu Yu, but they didn't come over because Elder Hassan had something to say.
Now that Zhu Yu came up, they hurriedly gathered around.
"Boss, among these people are five Japanese, two Caucasians, and three who escaped. Their identities are not yet known," Qin Fei reported.
Ran Jie then whispered:
"Judging from the information currently available, their main targets are the materials in this underground cave and us."
"The target is us? Japanese people?" When Zhu Yu heard this, he immediately thought of the mysterious organization behind Xingya Guanyin Yuan!
"Yes, it is very likely related to the things we did in Japan in the early days!" Cao Dalong said solemnly, "If I had known this was the case, we would have chased him out just now! We should have left him alive."
"Don't think so much." Zhu Yu smiled and said, "In a battle of life and death, how can you take care of so many things.
At first we were not afraid of causing trouble in his lair, but now we are even less afraid of them.
If they dare to come, we will bury them! Let’s see who came faster, or we buried it faster! "
When Zhu Yu said this, Ran Jie and others burst into laughter.
Yes, what is there to be afraid of? They have one nose and two eyes. Both sides are fighting away from home. There is also tribal support here. What is there to be afraid of?
After packing up some information on the mountain bag, Zhu Yu and the others followed the tribesmen to the village.
Elder Hassan had sent people to the village to report the news in advance, so when he was halfway there, a large number of people from the tribe had arrived.
They divided the work in an orderly manner to help carry equipment, carry bodies, and take care of the injured.
Zhu Yu could see some people who were clearly the women's family members. They wiped their tears from time to time, but did not cry loudly.
Maybe they are used to this kind of life. When men fight for survival, there will inevitably be casualties. Although women are grieving, the most important thing is to continue to persevere and support the family.
It was already midnight when they returned to the village, and only then did Zhu Yu and the others hear low cries one after another.
Several people looked at each other, feeling heavy, but there was no good solution.
When the maid saw Zhu Yu, a hint of surprise clearly flashed in her eyes.
Tired from traveling all the way, Zhu Yu was too lazy to resist. Under the service of the maid, he washed and rested in a hurry.
The bed was very big, and the girl lay quietly beside the bed, breathing very softly. She must have been worried for a long time, and fell asleep quickly.
Zhu Yu sighed, stood up, hugged the girl and put her on the bed.
At dawn the next day, the girl hurriedly got up and fetched water for Zhu Yu.
When Zhu Yu's eyes met in a hurry, a trace of panic flashed in the girl's eyes.
While having breakfast, Zhu Yu discovered that there were several young girls serving Ran Jie and the others.
"Boss, do you think you can tell Elder Hassan about this? We are really not used to it." Ran Jie said with a grimace.
"You have to say what you want," Zhu Yu said with a smile while eating, "Can't you refuse even if you don't look at me?"
Fortunately, the girls are all in the house and rarely go out.
After dinner, Zhu Yu and the others went about their own business.
Qin Fei was dragged by Hu Guanghui to the valley behind the village to practice shooting.
Since yesterday's battle, Hu Guanghui has become obsessed with using weapons.
He came over to inquire and knew that Qin Fei had the best marksmanship among the three Ran Jie, so he hoped that Qin Fei could teach him.
Qin Fei did not refuse.
Zhu Yu guessed that Qin Fei wanted to avoid being alone with the girl.
Ran Jie and Cao Dalong were called by Elder Hassan, mainly to discuss the distribution of this batch of materials.
Hu Guanghui has decided to sell the supplies to the tribe and exchange them for precious gems and gold.
This part of Zhu Yu's supplies was left to Ran Jie and the others to handle.
Zhu Yu naturally had nothing to do, so he planned to walk around the village.
The whole village is quiet and solemn. Occasionally, a child's screams will be scolded by their parents.
After all, dozens of people died and many others were injured. Nearly half of the families in the village were immersed in pain.
Hilarity is inappropriate at this time.
Almost all the villages are old adobe buildings.
Zhu Yu remembered that a relatively large earthquake had occurred in the western part of New Province.
At that time, almost all of the more than 10,000 adobe houses in one village were knocked down by a magnitude 6 earthquake. Because the earthquake occurred in the early morning, there were many casualties.
The current building is quite unsafe.
Thinking of this, he shook his head, feeling that he was being a little pretentious.
People here have to solve the problem of survival first before they can talk about anything else.
Going back forty years ago, Zhu Yu's family must have lived in a house like this.
Someone in the passing yard came out and saw Zhu Yu. He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly saluted and walked away.
Now the entire tribe knows that these Chinese people are the distinguished guests of the elders and the nobles of the entire tribe.
Without these people, all the men in the tribe would probably be dead.
They are grateful to these Chinese people, but they don't know how to communicate. So we can only stay away from it.
Zhu Yu walked around the village and found it boring, so he returned to the big yard.
Unexpectedly, Ran Jie and the others had returned, along with Elder Hassan.
Elder Hassan, come over and ask Zhu Yu:
"Tomorrow we plan to go to a nearby market to trade some of the things we brought back this time. Mr. Zhu, do you want to go with us?"
market?
Zhu Yu was a little curious and asked.
"There used to be a town near us, but it was destroyed because of the war. Later, in order to exchange what we had, we formed a market at the ruins. Every once in a while, everyone would go there with supplies. trade.
When the Americans came here, they said it was a black market and we were prohibited from trading. But how could such a thing be banned? We often change places.
Later, the old American left, and the location of the transaction was fixed again.
From time to time, some novel things appear there. Mr. Zhu, would you like to go and take a look? "
Of course Zhu Yu is going.
I know intuitively that places like this are the easiest to miss.
It is equivalent to the Chinese rural market in the early 1980s, where it is easy to buy antiques worth hundreds of millions in the future.
After all, people must first solve the problem of survival before they can talk about anything else.
Now, the same is true.
